Duke Energy unveils new logo

Duke Energy on Monday unveiled a new corporate logo. Following its merger with Progress Energy in July, Duke Energy is the nation's largest utility.

The logo was developed internally and will be used by the company with customers in early 2013.

"The logo represents a new beginning for a unified and stronger Duke Energy," said Jim Rogers, chairman, president and chief executive officer. "It also recognizes the rich histories of both Duke Energy and Progress Energy, reflecting the image of a world-class energy company."

Duke Energy's utility operations in Ohio and Kentucky serve approximately 1 million gas and electric customers in southwest Ohio and approximately 230,000 customers in six northern Kentucky counties.
